Cachelogic put appliances into the network that both monitor traffic (semi-deep packet inspection) and also cache P2P content to take the load of your network. While I don't think they made the figures up it's worth bearing in mind they are selling a 'solution' to the problem they highlight. For the record we have seen P2P traffic over 50% of our bandwidth utilisation - if bittorrent is the largest proportion then it could reach 35% of total bandwidth.

I'm thinking the sampling methodology here might be a little skewed. Then again, I could be biased. Any other facts that would support this?
